Take The S From Swanky...

Our unbeaten record came to an end tonight at the Undercroft Pub Quiz possibly because of a change of team name. As Lawrens was on our team this week we decided to adapt the name "The Lord And His Ladies", a move that probably wasn't ideal.

There was a controversial decision made about a question in which we had to explain why Eric The Eel got his name in the 2000 Olympics. Our team said that he was a rubbish swimmer but Goodlass and Marshall wouldn't have that, oh no.
They would only accept answers that gave specific details of the record for the slowest swimming time so a bit of heckling ensued! That and the Gaelic music that was playing throughout the quiz leading to Ricky and Ross making constant jokes about the answers being "hidden in the music".

Luckily I didn't spend too much money on booze and only divulged into one can of Fanta. I'm saving the strong stuff for our big night tomorrow! Speaking of which I was rather flattered on the way back to find out that the dad of Pete, one of the first year students reckons our playlist is better than both Radio 1 and Capital! Where else are you going to hear Fedde Le Grand followed by The Beatles?

We weren't actually Team Wankey! That was Joe, Alannah and someone else whose name I can't remember.
